Ing revenue sufficient only to meet ex.
penseS of economical govern
ment, the payment OF liberal
pensions to Union soldiers and
sailors, and the payment Of the interest
and principal OF the public debt; and, II
necessary, favor such reduction In
internal revenue, excepting liquors. as
will prevent accumulation OF surplus In
the national treasury, and denounces
any attempt to abolish taxes 0n liquors
for the purpose Of keeping up present
unjust, unequal and OnerOus tariff sys-

that all lands Of the Government be
held for actual settlers who are citiz9ne

great cOnservater OF free aud liberal In
should enjoy 1t full share Of
common benefits derived therefrOm;
therefore we favor such restraints Of
and eneroachment of
corporate power as will bring best the
possible protection to honest labor, and
at the same time, conserve the interests
OF honestly employed capital. Favor
such Legislation on immigration as will
prevent the landing for permanent res

declare their Intentions Of becomlng
citizens of the United States. Declare
opposition to importation of contract

Denounce the present Republican State
administration as weak, partisan, per

the people Of Ohio to turn
the power of the State gov

ls to augment expenditures, multiply
offices, create Deficiencies and increase
taxation, with bankruptcy of treasury
as an ultimate result. DenOunce the
late Republican Legislature for its
c0wsrdly and hypocritical alliance,
intrigue with the Repnblic VI
Board Of Public Works, and Republican
Attorney General, In a scheme whereby
millions of dollars worth of property
Of the States is to be transferred
to corporations interested In creating
or transportation without
state or the people thereof receiving
aDy benefit therefrom. Demand the
fullest safeguard for the ballot box, the
punishment of all who corrupt
it, and the enactment Of laws
making 1t q felony for corpora,
